Some of the usual Spark features are missing this time, for instance there is no Catholicism and there are no Scottish names. By way of a change, the setting is New York, and if you are already familiar with Spark's cast of mind you will not be surprised to learn that this great city comes in for some memorable satire for its psychoanalysts and its half-page list of 'problems' - 'the youth problem, the racist problem...the homosexual problem, the traffic problem, the heterosexual problem, the obesity problem, the garbage problem...the uxoricidal problem...the drug problem...' The phantoms or semi-phantoms who populate the book are to some extent a device for conveying a critical view of New York, but of course one can never pin down Muriel Spark as simply as that. These strange personae have a cartoon-life of their own, and one sequence at least - the choice of over-ripe tomatoes for their alleged dietary properties and the use they are subsequently put to - is very typical Spark humour, and I found it very funny.
The chief character in the book casts a shadow that falls in the wrong direction. Right at the end, in response to an undefined but seemingly ghostly summons, she leaves the scene trailing not Wordsworthian clouds of glory but 'her faithful and lithe cloud of unknowing'. Dame Muriel Spark herself left our society only a few days ago, leaving behind her a unique collection of novels where bafflement is all part of the intended effect. It is her own cloud of unknowing, but at its best it is a cloud of glory too.
WOW!~! This book is a real trip! I felt as if I was back in the early 70s and in my own little world. I can see my brain thinking like this but I cannot imagine how having the ability to put it on down on paper. Marvelously done by Spark!
The story is about a man and his wife who survived WWII, along with their family members and friends. It is about remembrances of the war years but told as if in current time. Everyone, but everyone in this little book, is quite eccentric or just outright bizarre. The reader is here within the story but then, no....... yanked right out of your head and into a different story! I found the characters strangely fascinating and fun, yet at times some of them were frightening as well.
If this little review seems rather disjointed just imagine how disjointed the book was and yet I loved it and read it through in one sitting. Spark is amazing and if you want to read something a bit different and off center, this might be just the ticket for you. It was for me.
